Shane's staying home today, I am going shopping
At a place that I have wanted to go for like two weeks now
And just haven't really had time, but Shane is doing a Zoom
And I am waiting while he's doing that, and I'm gonna go to the store
So I'm going to Rag & Bone, off I go
Hannah just left for the store, which means I have the whole house to myself, other than Chloe
I think I'll use my time productively
(sings the opening to Circle of Life)
I'm working on it, you know?
I'm in LA, I have high hopes that some day
They might make another remake of the Lion King
And if that day comes, when that day comes, I will be ready
(more singing)
Or like, Hakuna, Matata
I can play almost any role in that movie
(guitar music)
Dude... I just saw... why is it so wobbly?
Okay, I just saw something I've never seen before
It was a delivery robot, it was white and yellow and it had two white light eyes
And a little flag on top, and I just saw it
It was waiting across the street and it started to cross
And then the light turned, and I guess it was watching the signal
And it knew it wouldn't have time to finish crossing and so it just backed up
Back onto the sidewalk and got out of the way
And then it just sat there with its eyes watching the light, ready to cross
I have never seen one of those in real life, in person before
Oh, my camera's slipping, but that was really cool
Also, this is really funny, Chloe really likes eating tissues
Used tissues, which is disgusting
That's something that she has in common with Hannah
But the minute Hannah left the house and the door closed
Chloe sprinted off the couch and ran directly to the bathroom
Cause she knows that I can't do anything
But I yelled and she stopped, so no tissues were eaten
But I realized seeing that happen, that every time we leave
She probably runs right to the nearest garbage can
Thankfully the ones at home all have lids but this one here does not
But don't worry, I saved the day
Alright, no I am actually being productive
I have a meeting with Sarah now
(music)
S: Hi Sarah
H: Hmm, didn't know we could have guests on our solo vlogs today
Sa: Hi, Shaney, how are ya? S: I'm recording you
Sa: Oh, you're recording me? Is this for your Youtube channel?
Sa: Do you have more than 10 followers at this point?
S: Have you heard that we have a Youtube channel?
Sa: I have, a couple people have told me, I still don't understand who's watching that
Sa: But yeah S: This could be your big break
Sa: Maybe, maybe that's what this'll be (laughs)
S: Is there any song that you'd like to perform? Or thing you've been working on?
Sa: I could do the Star Spangled Banner
(music)
I can't choose between wide leg and jogger
I'm whispering because they know I'm alone in here
Alright, meeting is over, very productive
And I love Zoom for allowing us to work remotely like this
I can be anywhere in the world and do all of the work that I need to do
And see all the people I need to see
That, my friends, is accessibility at its finest
I love it, anyway, meeting's over, Hannah's still not home
And what time is it? She's been gone over an hour, maybe an hour, I don't know
So I have some time to kill now, I wonder what I'll do
Oh, my favorite band... well, one of my favorite bands, Alt J
Has a new album that came out last week and there's a song on the album
That I have been listening to on repeat, it is called Get Better
And I warn you, it is a sad song, it's about losing a loved one
And the first time I heard it I was sitting on the front porch here
And I began to cry, cause it was so beautiful
And later that night I was like Hannah, you have to listen to this
And so I played it, it was right before we went to bed
And I began to cry again (laughs) as I'm showing it to her
So it's that good, in my opinion
And Hannah was like, why would you want a song to make you cry?
And I get that, and I don't always want that, but this song, I'm telling you
It is beautiful and heartfelt and the lyrics are simple
But in a way that rips your heart out and smashes it into a million pieces
That's the style of music I prefer
Rips your heart out, smashes it into a million pieces
May or may not make you sob
Okay, back in the car
I stopped at Joe & The Juice and got this, which I've never had before
I'm gonna taste test it
Oh my god, it's so good, I got a strawberry banana elderflower one, I think?
It was called Hell of a time or something
Something that was really awkward to order but oh my god, it's really good
I've never really bought a juice before very LA of me
It just occurred to me, I know Hannah is out buying pants
I think my video that I'm making here, and her video, are gonna be very different
Very different days that we're having
I will say that juice cost $8 which I didn't realize until I was inside
In line, staring at the menu, and so I don't think I will ever ever buy another one of these
So I'm gonna savor this one because $8 seems like a lot for juice
But that one is very good, a lot of them I didn't think I would like
Cause I'm not really into ginger and the kale ones and stuff
But that strawberry one is very good
I'm quite enjoying my little video updates here as the day goes by
I was literally gone for an hour and fifteen minutes
Maybe I'll start a new spinoff channel
Where I just turn my laptop on and talk about whatever comes to mind
No, the world does not need that, no one needs that
How was your Superbowl everyone?
I know many of you probably didn't even watch, but we did
And we watched it with our friends, Cole and Charisma
Many of you will know them by their Youtube channel, Roll with Cole & Charisma
And they're out here living in LA right now and they reached out
And they were like "let's hang out!" and so we've seen them a few times
And they invited us over for the Superbowl
Lovely time
I've always been a lifelong Rams fan so.. or at least that's what I'm telling myself now
No, Eagles forever and always
(music)
Shane is texting me claiming that he is launching his own channel
He's gonna outvlog me, and I think that's pretty funny
With him sitting there on his computer
I'm doing stuff, getting juice, getting pants
I will say though, when I was in the actual store
If you'll notice I didn't film any B roll in the store outside of the fitting room
Okay, I have been trying to crop in and hide a tree pollen
A piece of tree that fell onto my hair that I didn't notice
And is in all of these car shots and I've been cropping it out
And it's just become annoying and I can't really do it anymore
So you're just gonna see the tree, I got it out now
We're gonna see the tree piece that's in my hair for this drive
So that's what that is
S: Everyone make fun of her, it's so embarrassing
I didn't film any B roll because it was pretty empty
The only person shopping there was me and one other person
But there was a sales person who was helping me
Who was very involved in the process which was nice and helpful
Because I went up to them and I was like "do you have these pants?"
Cause I had never been there before, and so they were really helpful
But I feel so awkward filming in person
Like I would have had to explain to her that I have a Youtube channel
"Do you mind if I film?" It would have been a whole thing
So I didn't really film anything, and I know that Shane if he went out with a camera
Would have no problem just filming anything and everything in public, no shame
So he's right that he probably would out vlog me
If he wasn't just sitting at his laptop on a webcam right now
I have a theory, I want to tell you my theory
The quality of my camera on my computer is decent
But not like the actual camera that we use for Youtube
And I have a theory that the algorithm on Youtube is going to punish this video
Because of some of the quality of the video
We'll see if that pans out, but if this video has not our normal amount of views
I called it, and that will at least make me feel a little bit better
As our channel sinks slowly into obvlivion
Vlogging is way less fun without Shane
